Increasing animal resilience with olive bioactives

Olives have been recognised as a valuable source of bioactives with well described antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. Application of olive bioactives in animal nutrition has proven to sustain animal resilience to stressors becoming a promising strategy to produce more robust animals while up-cycling by-products of the olive industry.
